The best part is that it's for all hair types - from the finer strands to the thickest locks. to Just apply a dime- to a quarter-size dollop in your hair and brush it through, then style as normal.

Keratin Complex Express Blow Out


How it works: One concern with Keratin Complex's original Smoothing Therapy treatment was that the actual in-salon service took a few hours and clients couldn't wash their hair for 72 hours afterward. In response to requests from their more time-challenged clientele, the brand created this one-hour in-salon treatment, after which you can wash your hair just eight hours later. The best part is that it cuts down on your dry time immensely, not to mention your tresses stay completely frizz-free, sexy, and sleek.
How long it lasts: Three to six weeks, depending on your maintenance routine. (See: Styles in 15 Minutes or Less)
Where to get it: $99 and up, at select salons

Shu Uemura Shusu Sleek Collection


How it works: Inspired by Japanese art of silk-weaving called shusu, this shampoo and conditioner regimen will leave your hair feeling buttery smooth, without the greasy feeling. Black cumin oil is the gold-star ingredient; it has a high concentration of powerful antioxidants, fatty acids, and omegas 3, 6, and 9. The formula smooths out the cuticle so it lies flat, giving you sleek and shiny hair. (As Real Beauty staffer Ariana says, "It's given me the beautiful, glossy Asian hair that my Korean genes never gave me!") It's incredibly nourishing and is best used on coarse, unruly locks. Although it's not a heavy product, avoid applying the Smoothing Treatment at your roots just in case.
Where to get it: $45 to $65, shuuemuraartofhair.com
